HYANNIS — Copy editing and design of the Cape Cod Times will be shifted to a newly created Center for News & Design in Austin, Texas, later this year.

The Center for News & Design is being created by GateHouse Media Inc., which manages the Cape Cod Times and six other daily newspapers that comprise Local Media Group Inc. All Local Media Group papers will transition to the center over the next few months and most GateHouse papers, currently designed in Framingham and Rockford, Ill., also will move to Austin.

The Center for News & Design will not only handle the page design and copy editing for many of the company's newspapers but it will also offer a range of creative content services from the development of original content for niche sections and magazines and custom publishing to supporting new platforms and initiatives the company is working on.

Fourteen positions at the Cape Cod Times will be affected by the move. Times staff will have the opportunity to transition to Austin.

Dhyana Sansoucie, the Times' assistant managing editor for design, will be part of the center's leadership team and will be responsible for the company's large daily newspapers, including the Times.

The Times' copy editing and design is tentatively scheduled to move to Austin in November.
